We absolutely love the neighborhood and the colorful culture tucked into this cozy corner of Chicago's northside. Pet parents between Racine and Lake Shore Drive are asking for local vets who will love their pets like their own and provide the expertise they need to raise a healthy pet in the city.

Most of us hail from the Lakeview, Wrigleyville and Boystown regions, areas we know and love. We understand the pressing need for accessible, convenient, full-service veterinary care that treats pets and their guardians like family; not numbers. To meet this demand for excellence, we're looking to welcome new team members who believe in furthering our vision, growing professionally, and helping us achieve our practice goals on a daily basis.
Read our clients' stories and share your own! We love hearing feedback because it helps us to continually improve our services and better meet the needs of our community's pets and people. Friendly staff, timely, and our vet was great! The doctor explained everything throughly and answered all the questions I had regarding preventive care for my newly adopted dog.
How do pets stay healthy? By paying routine visits to their veterinarian, similar to how you see your doctor on a regular basis. Because pets age much faster and their health can change rapidly, yearly visits allow for the early detection and treatment of disease. At Wrigleyville Veterinary Center, we offer a variety of wellness care plans to prevent disease and keep pets thriving for as long as possible.
Diseases are the most likely threats your pet will face during their lifetime. Diseases can spread from animal to animal, from animal to human, or from human to animal with startling speed and cause serious illness. Fortunately, pet vaccinations can reduce or eliminate the threat of infection. Wrigleyville Veterinary Center offers all of the most important vaccines that dogs and cats need to stay protected, regardless of their lifestyle.

My dog sustained a severe eye injury either during or immediately after his visit at Wrigleyville Veterinary Center. After his injury we had 3 subsequent visits (which I was charged in full for each time) over the span of about 10 days. At no point did they mention this injury could have been a result of the treatment they did on my dog. Only at the 3rd appointment when they told me his eye was at risk for rupture - they said he needed to be taken to an eye specialist IMMMEDIATELY. So not only did I waste my time and money here, I had to go onto a veterinary eye specialist which required extremely

The team at WV treats my cat with the same level of care, respect, love, and patience that I do. They are incredibly responsive and communicative -- the negative reviews boggle my mind, since my experience has been that the staff are SUPER organized and work quickly but carefully. I think many people fail to realize that a vet clinic is a healthcare facility like any other -- they triage and have emergencies, they get busy, stuff happens. You have to be patient even when you're stressed about your loved one. These doctors are experienced, they're licensed, they know what they're doing. WV is top

My little purr baby was not acting herself this morning & getting sick quite a few times. I was struggling to find a vet in the city taking same-day appointments until I came across this clinic. The staff here was so accommodating & friendly in getting my girl in. While they are limiting guests inside with COVID, it's easy to see in the moments you're inside just how beautiful their space is. They were very responsive & communicated every step of the way (even with a drop-off appointment where I wasn't there in-person). I've had vets who clearly are in a rush & try to quickly hop off the phone

I’ve been extremely pleased with my puppy’s service at wrigleyville Vet. It’s half a mile away so I can walk my guy there for vaccines, appointments, and daycare - which he LOVES OH MY GOD! He’s an active golden retriever (5 months) and I’m a new dog parent. Front desk staff has probably responded to 50-60 emails already from me asking every little thing. They’re patient, reliable, professional, and clearly care about the pets they serve. Highly recommend the puppy wellness plan especially for the first year since there are a lot of services covered including spay and neutering.
Thanks

I spoke a very nice and helpful gentlemen earlier in the day. Explained to him that I wanted to make an appointment but wasn’t sure if I could make it because of work. I was told I could cancel at any point in the day, I called two hours prior to appointment to reschedule and was told by a another front desk receptionist I needed to put down 75$ for my next appointment. The customer service is terrible, you should honor what was told to me versus giving me and attitude and having me not return.

We're very happy with Wrigleyville Vet being our vet for our Corgi pup. We initially went with them simply because they could see us soonest (~1wk) after getting our pup. Plenty of other vets wouldn't take new "patients" or had insane wait times.
We've met and had Drs. Bookstaff, Hardiman, Dudun, and Slossburg and all have been professional, direct, and great to deal with. The team in front is super helpful as well when you have to call in for anything (thanks, Chris!).
Today our lil' dum-dum ate a packing foam sheet while out and about and thankfully they could get us in ASAP to get it out.

This place is great !
We're here for a few months with our dogs and the older one developed a gooey discharge from her eyes. We called on a Saturday afternoon and they had an opening the next morning (Sunday). Imagine a vet that's open 7 days a week ! They were very thorough with the exam and sent us home with the proper medication. Yes, it's a little pricier than a standard vet practice but this facility is state-of-the-art and could handle anything from a routine visit to a serious emergency. I feel much better knowing they're just a block from our place.
